Breakfast overlooking the Hotel Poem veranda, overlooked in turn by a Hooded Crow.
En route to the Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque, past an ancient foot washing station and even more ancient ruins.
Stopping for a lunch of pide (Turkish pizza), catching a glimpse of the Bosphorus.
Capping off the evening with prayers from the Mevlevi. One hand raised to heaven, the other a conduit to earth, a whirling meditation.
